When Boss Dong founded Shiai Bookstore, the book market in Xinyang City was very hot at that time, and the competition was particularly fierce, especially the main promotion of student guidance books. In Xinpu County alone, there are nearly 50 bookstores of all sizes in an area of about 210 square kilometers. In Xinpu County, together with the two technical schools of Xinpu Technical School and Nanpu Industrial and Commercial School, there are only 10 middle schools.

Although Yuanjiang District is larger than Xinpu County in terms of area, reaching nearly 410 square kilometers, nearly two-thirds of the area here belongs to mountains and hills, and the population is relatively sparse, and most of them live on the plain at the confluence of the Yuanjiang River and the Fengjiang River. Therefore, in the urban area of Yuanjiang District, which is formed by the Yuanjiang Plain at the confluence of the Yuanjiang River and the Fengjiang River, there is a record that you can see a bookstore that is open every 300 steps. Especially next to the Yuanjiang Foreign Chinese School, there are seven or eight bookstores of similar size.

Because of this, Boss Dong had never seen this kind of bloody commercial competition before, and he almost lost all the money he had earned before when he opened the first Shiai bookstore. Fortunately, Boss Dong was relatively quick in his early years, and later directly started the business of a book publishing house, avoiding the direct competition of this kind of bookstore. Taking advantage of the hot book publishing market, the Shiai Book Publishing House, founded by Boss Dong, took this opportunity to receive several lists of novels published by middle school students, expanding the scale of the publishing house while transfusing blood for the Shiai Bookstore. When these bookstores closed down one after another because of weak profits, they took down some stores with better geographical locations. Slowly, because of its concept and business experience of serving people who love reading, Shiai Book Publishing House was loved by most of the students and white-collar workers in Yuanjiang District and even other counties in Xinyang City, and then it became one of the four major publishing houses in Xinyang.

Today, what Ning Zhichu is going to visit is the main store of Shiai Book Publishing House, located in the north of Yuanjiang District. Of course, before that, Ning Zhichu also wanted to go to the bookstore to find a few tutorial book exercise books.

By the time Ning Zhichu relieved the stamina of motion sickness and rushed to the Chengbei branch of Shiai Bookstore with Jia Junpeng, it was already nearly noon. However, when you look at the entrance of the bookstore, you will see people looking for books, some people standing in front of the bookcase and reading intently, some people picking and picking in front of their favorite books, and some people walking around the bookstore, as if they can't find the book that suits them. Outside the bookstore, it is cold in spring, and the sun is slightly cold, and inside the bookstore, there is an impetuous temperature, which makes people unconsciously take off their bloated winter clothes.

Jia Junpeng looked at the crowd gathered like ants and exclaimed, "It's almost noon, why are there so many people in this bookstore?" Don't they need lunch? Eh, Zhichu, should we change to a bookstore with few families? ”

Although it was the first time to see Ning Zhichu, who had so many people visiting a bookstore, he was also dumbfounded. Before he was reborn, he had been to the Xinpu store of Shiai Bookstore many times to buy books, but at that time, the society was impetuous, and the number of people who read books was far less than now, even middle school students, few of them met to buy books together on weekends, and the way to buy books was basically to choose e-commerce to buy, so for the flow of people in the bookstore he saw today, it was also the first time that he was stunned.

Ning Zhichu, who heard Jia Junpeng's words at this time, shook his head and directly denied Jia Junpeng's opinion, "Junpeng, a large number of people can mean that this bookstore is of good quality, good service, and relatively favorable price, let's stop talking, don't you go first and take a look?" ”

"Haole," Jia Junpeng only habitually complained, seeing that Ning Zhichu was determined to buy books in this Shiai bookstore, he had no opinion, anyway, today he was playing in Yuanjiang District. Of course, I will definitely have to buy a few books to make a show, and the excuse for Jia Junpeng to ask Jia's mother for pocket money in the morning is to buy tutoring books from Jiang District with Ning Zhichu.

So, the two of them didn't care about having lunch, and began to flow through the bookstore with the flow of people. After entering the bookstore, Ning Zhichu and Jia Junpeng were temporarily separated. Jia Junpeng devoted himself wholeheartedly to the novel section, to read the latest published martial arts novels or romance novels, and Ning Zhichu felt that he was no better than others, and he had forgotten the middle school knowledge points of nearly eleven years, if he couldn't catch up bravely, I was afraid that he would not even be able to compare with those students in the class with average academic performance, so he stood very seriously in the middle school tutoring book section area and carefully selected the tutoring books that suited him.

After picking and choosing for about an hour, Ning Zhichu had already selected a set of reference books and tutorial exercises, including 2 for each of the three courses of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and 1 for Chinese and English. As for the rest of the disciplines, such as biology, Ning Zhichu felt that there was no need to buy them now. After all, the 8 books selected cost 163 yuan to buy, and Ning Zhichu went out this morning with 200 yuan.

After buying it, Ning Zhichu went to the novel area to call Jia Junpeng. In a remote corner of the novel area, Ning Zhichu took a lot of effort to find Jia Junpeng, who was fascinated by it, and was still dissatisfied with Ning Zhichu's selection of the tutorial book in only 1 hour, thinking that it was too fast, so fast that he hadn't even finished half of a martial arts novel. However, Jia Junpeng was just slandering in his heart, seeing that Ning Zhichu had already picked out the counseling book, he had to reluctantly drop the martial arts hour in his hand, followed Ning Zhichu to choose the same counseling book, and came to the cashier to pay the bill, after all, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and the stomachs of the two of them were already hungry.

When it was Ning Zhichu's turn to settle the bill, it was about half an hour later. I have to sigh, if you open a bookstore now, it is estimated that it will be very profitable, just look at these people's traffic. However, Ning Zhichu knew that this was just an illusion created by small profits and quick turnover, and once the lifeblood of the book purchase channel was grasped, then it would be slaughtered by others.

"Drop~"

"Hello, a total of 163 yuan, 200 yuan for you, 37 yuan for you, thank you for patronizing."

Ning Zhichu was sighing, and the salesperson at the No. 6 cashier picked up the 8 books that Ning Zhichu had purchased, and after scanning the book code under the machine, she maintained a smile and said to Ning Zhichu.

Ning Zhichu handed out 200 yuan and said, "Sister Beauty, excuse me, can I ask you a question?" ”

The salesman's smile remained the same, "It's a pleasure to serve you, please say." ”

Ning Zhichu said: "I see that the upstairs of your bookstore is the Shiai Book Publishing House, I want to find the person in charge of the publishing house, I wonder if you can give me a contact information?" ”
